LIvELYTIME on NORTH MAIN.

Night before last two colored men at
tackled a third, named, Frank Richard
son, on North Main in front of the barber
shop and knocked him down. The as
sailants managed to make their escape:
but yesterday Officer Burrows, who had
gotten only glimpse of the rascals the
night before, was on the lookout for them.
He spotted them at one time in Sanford :
restaurant followed them down street
and was assured by an eye witness to the
difficulty of the preceding night, that the
pair were the men wanted.
In front of Schnitzler's restaurant Bur-
rows told both of them that
they were under arrest. They re
refused to be taken to the cooler and in
the struggle that ensued they pulled the
officer in the narrow space between the res
taurant and the brick building adjoining
it on the north. He called for assistance
and Messrs. Dunbar and Callahan came
to his aid. One was arrested, but the 9th
er broke loose from Mr.. Dunbar, throwing
him with great force through the large
glass in front of the Bryant store inhict-
ing very ugly cut upon his throat. In
the meantime the escaped man had run
across the street, pursued by an angry ex-
cited crowd of men and for time was
lost. At last he was discovered concealed
among some -four sacks in the rear of the
Wichita bakery and locked up in the
cooler.

TALK WITH Two BUSINESS MEN.

How is business these days." said a
! gentleman, yesterday, engaged in the
/ wholesale grocery business to one inter
ested in a retail clothing establishment.
/ Good, of course; you would not expect
/ it otherwise, would YOU" was the prompt
reply.
"Of course not | meant to ask YOU how
business is, comparatively" by way Of ex-
! PLANTATION.
"Oh, you mean is it as good
ROW as it was this time last year,
or as it was last month.
Well tell you / saw by some eastern
papers that trade is dull in Wichita. but
am sure am not finding that true, nor
are other men in the city engaged in my
kind Of business. By the way, / am Just
prepared to give You a good idea on the
subject. Come in here"
The two and another were standing in
front of his establishment, and the three
walked up to the desk Taking ont some
papers which showed several rows of fig
ures. he handed them 10 the one introduc-
ing the subject.
Now look here, " he commenced, "this
row shows amount of sale fer each month
last year, and this other row shows the
months for this year. and OF course I know
about how ii is so far this month. Well.
lets begin Oh November last year and last
month"
a moments calculation showed over
thirty seven per cent. in favor of last
month. This was even more than the
one interested thought it would be. but
of course was not an Objectionable feature.
h s.
countenance. has been much better than
last, as naturally we would expect it to be
rs II is nearing holidays. | have been in
this business here number of years as
you know, and | am sure results are much
better this year than ever before. And
another thing that is very gaatifving to
Us Is that the class of trade or goods we
handle is of a much better qnality than it
used TO be. OF course, a retailer knowing
his business. only buys the goods he can
sell. In other words he acts in accordance
with the taste Of the people.
This observation simply proves that
our people every day are getting in better
circumstances and call for better class of
goods
And, while we are talking on this re
tail business, would like just here TO say
that when You wholesaling fellows imag-
inc you and manufacturers bring all the
money that comes here from trade you are
badly mistaken. The retail houses of the
town bring large amounts Of money here.
People come in here from fifty and hun
dred miles around 10 do their buying AT
the retail stores. They say and know
that the retail stores of Wichita are the
state and can get a better class of goods
here for prices that make them come.
Wichita retail houses for years have been
drawing from the rich territory around it. =
At this moment some parties came in on
private business with the propTietors and
the meeting was broke up. Not, however,
before the wholesale man admitted the
force of the argument submitted and say
ing that in his line OF business he was
quite well satisfied with results and il WAS
continually increasing.

WEATHER SIGNAL STATION.

1t is very evident that Wichita as The
central city of the southwest ought to have
a signal station. Take Dodge one hundred
and fifty miles west and at an altitude of
two thousand five hundred feet and Leay-
enworth the next station east at an at
titude of seven hundred feet and the re-
sultant weather prophisies do not hit this
section in any way at all reliable Wich-
ita ought 70 have station and a sarjent
located here. There would or could be
found no better place than the tower be
ing erected on the Sedgwick building.
The tower is six stories above the pave
ment and Messrs Rouse & Blackwelder
the proprietors say they will furnish it to
the government rent free. The tower
overlooks the entire city and valley. For
a long time number of leading citizens
have been expressing the conviction that
Wichita ought TO be made government
signal station, and now as most advan-
tageous quarters are offered the govern
ment rent free, the proper effort might
secure the desired officer

SHE DEMANDED HER WAGES.

There was an interesting and exciting
little time in laundry on Hydraulic
avenue yesterday forenoon. The facts as
developed before Judge Dixon, of the po-
lice, appeared to be that Henry 7. Sher
man, the manager of the laundry, had dis
missed one of his female employees. She,
however seriously objected to leaving un
til her wages were paid in full. Henry ON
the contrary, had very decided objection
to acceeding to her demands. She insisted;
and he, it is alleged, slapped her three
times in the face, each time the blow grow
ing harder.
The next thing that the ungallant
laundry man knew he was called upon to
face a large array of witnesses in the police
court. Henry fought hard, but fate went
against him and he was called upon to pay
a neat little sum into the city treasury be-
fore departing

Col. Murdoch spoke of the importance
of immediate action by the council
Brown, only member of railroad COM
mittee present, recommended that the

Mr.. Bentley-When first told you we
would build railroad you did not believe
me, and / scarcely believed it myself
However, 1.-THE road is now seventy-two
miles long and by the first of Janu-
airy next will be one hundred and ten
miles long As to the grade through the
city we will put it where you want it. We
are now putting the track down to the
south limits of the city, expecting to ex-
tend it next years.
English-I move we adopt the report of
the railroad committee. In so doing we
befriend the most important railroad in
the city.
Buckridge-If we can get the grade right
/ will concede to give bonds.

Washington avenue were compelled to
support the railroad they ought to be
given good grade.

vote.

the wire and the horse kept going along,
paying little attention to the trouble of
the driver. Finally Mr.. Harvey and the
carriage separated He fell to the ground
and thought his throat was cut but it was
only bruise, The horse, finding the
driver absent stopped for him to regain
